Deltaville Dealer Days set for this weekend

Deltaville Dealer Days has become one of the harbingers of spring on the Middle Peninsula, a tangible reminder of the change of the seasons, and an opportunity to climb aboard boats, rather than look at them on the internet.

The event was conceived seven years ago when the four “new boat dealers” in Deltaville agreed to hold their spring open house on the same weekend and work together to make it a “Deltaville event,” as well as a spring sales event, by pooling their resources and encouraging local businesses to participate as sponsors, said event spokesperson Onna Grimm.

At each dealership new and used boats will be available for visitors to view and board, either in the water or on land, from 10 a.m.-4 p.m., Saturday and Sunday, May 3-4, and brokers will be there to answer questions.

“Though not every new model represented by the four dealerships will be on display, what better way to learn what’s out there and obtain information from the experts?” said Grimm.
